Sometimes being 49th get fukin unbearable. This is education policy?

Did they actually show the spankings? The video you posted the other day didn't.

ARK. BLOG: Just the sound effects and interviews off camera with subjects. Enough to titillate the fetishists, however.

This is the stuff that the Booneville principal is now linked with-

It's hard to believe that TruTV didn't know what could happen when they showed this. I wish that they could be held accountable, but that might not be possible.

The more thoughtful of our school districts provide for an adult "witness" to the beatings... uh, for reasons obvious to most of us, I hope. I couldn't tell if there was a witness present in the video but I'd suspect that the TruTV program's editors knew that it would be better for their meager ratings if they spoiled as few fantasies as possible.

I cannot imagine that someone who qualifies for a teaching certificate, even in our state, would be naive enough to let himself wind up behind a closed door with a 17-year-old, unrelated female and then to proceed to require that she present her buttocks to him while he hammers the back side of her genital area. He's a creep but we are no more insightful than he is, as we aid and abet this occurrence nearly 40,000 times each year.

If we're going to continue permitting such, we should at least require that all teachers in the paddling districts submit to an arousal meter, of some sort, to measure their physical reactions to various representations of spanking themes... the slightest quickening in heart rate and they loose their license to hold a paddle in the presence of children. Of course, that would only tend to protect children from the sexual predators lurking in principal's officer. The legal, physical child abuse would continue.

Oh, the shame of it. How barbaric! How unmodern! How 'that's the way they always handled discipline in school' familiar.

Give me a break!!!! The LRSD utilized corporate punishment throughout my time there as a student. I don't remember anyone being stunted for life. I don't remember anyone going berserk as a result of this. We didn't grow moss on our hands as a result of it. Lay off of the hyperbole.

All I know is that when this was used the worst problem confronted by school teachers was gum chewing in class. Today, you have metal detectors, kids blowing away the student body and violence against teachers on a regular basis. Grow up.

Some of you 'guys' who object to spankings need to check for lace on your underwear.

When I was running track at LRCHS the track coach would give us licks with a huge paddle when we made grades below a C or a Citizenship score of Unsatisfactory. You got so many licks depending on the grade or the score. Of course everyone that got the licks became an instant psychotic and mass murderer. I occasionally run into them and they are still drooling at the mouth from the years of abuse. However, they ran like the wind. I wonder if there is a relationship?

Strangelove, honey . . . we both know we're not on speaking terms since that little fling up on Petit Jean, but I have to congratulate you on what is either a brilliant bit of satire or a stupid Freudian slip.

Who the fuck knows, with you.

"The LRSD utilized corporate punishment."

Didn't you mean "corporal" punishment, darling?

Sure you did.

Do you KNOW any better, precious?

Claiming a "typo" is one thing.

But typing an "ate" for "al" is off the chain.

Or Freudian as all get out.

Which is the happier option.

Strangelove, you should be pleased to know that the "guys" on that site were quite appreciative of seeing a high school girl get paddled on TV. Seriously, if this was your daughter, would you be happy about her being featured on a fetish site and possibly being contacted by some creep?

strangelove, don't you know that most of the places that have had "kids blowing away the student body and violence against teachers" are the same places that have corporal punishment in their schools. No correlation suggested... just the facts. But, you also can't say that the absence of such has anything to do with corporal punishment, unless you intended to switch sides and claim that vandalism and violence are both less likely in schools where there is no corporal punishment. You sound just like the memory challenged who wish for the good ole' days... when there was no toilet paper, you could beat your wife with anything smaller than the thickness of your thumb ("rule of thumb"), their were no antibiotics and on and on. Strangelove, things are better than your revisionist recollections. They'll be better than now, too, when it it's illegal to abuse a child anywhere, including the schools. The only hyperbole I see above is that spouted by you. You want to seriously debate this issue? Cite something considered knowledge and leave the anecdotes to your chats over the backyard fence with your gullible neighbors.
